Really you don't think if we had Manning last year vs the Patriots we couldn't beat them?

no, we couldn't beat them. QBs do not play defense. our defense was no match for NE in the playoffs, even after we had a dry run against them in the regular season. same **** that used to happen whenever Shanny played Indy during the season and then in the playoffs.

Report: Broncos will inquire about Peyton Manning
Posted by Mike Florio on March 7, 2012, 3:56 PM EST
Getty ImagesEarlier today, we explained that the joint representation of Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow by CAA will make Denver an unlikely destination for Manning.

But that won’t stop the Broncos from at least trying.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Broncos will place a call to Tom Condon. Klis also writes that, if the contract could be structured in a way that protects the Broncos against further neck trouble, “the Broncos could well be players” for Peyton.

The contractual concerns could be enough to kill any possible deal, since teams like the Dolphins surely wouldn’t insist on placing any such protections in Manning’s contract. If he checks out, they’ll go all in and push the market to a point higher than that at which the Broncos will be comfortable.

The headline to the article says that the Broncos likely will stick with Tebow, a decision likely motivated by a desire to keep the Tebowmaniacs from storming the newspaper’s headquarters. Though the item from Klis makes clear that it won’t be easy to land Manning, Klis never says that it’s likely the team will keep Tebow. Instead, Klis explains that the Broncos definitely will explore the possibility of signing Manning.

The Bills never went 20/20. Explain what 20/20 had to do with the Bills game...

are you really this stupid? Beavis and I were discussing the Bills game..he mentioned 75% completion rate during the 1st half of the game...i mentioned that is skewed since its only on 4 attempts and questioned why that is good...i used an EXAMPLE of going 3-3, or 20-20, which completion rate is better....then someone asked doesnt the win matter more than the rate, so i said sure, BUFFALO WON.....then you assumed 20-20 happened in the buffalo game....

1. We have, quite possibly, the worst pass-blocking O-Line in the league. Good thing Manning is so mobile and durable.

2. We have one of the least experienced and least-proven receiver corps in the league, though they do have a knack for dropping passes that hit them in the hands.

3. We have a head coach whose entire philosophy is to grind down opponents with the running game.

4. In terms of endorSeimiant opportunities, we have the biggest national sports and media market between Wichita and Salt Lake City.

5. At least there wouldn't be any controversy or pressure on Manning here. Ah well, maybe a few people who like Tebow. But they aren't vocal or anything like that.

I'll betcha Manning is just drooling over the chance to play here. He'd probably take a big cut in pay just for the opportunity.

1. Peyton doesn't really hold the ball. I bet you the line would look tons better in front of him.

2. Our receivers are talented, and I have no doubt would also look better when playing in a more consistent offense.

3. If Peyton came, Peyton would be the offensive coordinator (more or less)

4. Peyton Manning has no trouble getting endorSeimiants. He's a proven commodity at this point

5. He's the one guy that even pro-tebow broncos fans (and thats me) would gripe about.

Here are 5 equally bs reasons of why denver would be great for him.

1. You could make the argument that offense held us back this year and more consistent QB play would have been the answer (i dont really agree with that, but you can make that argument if you so choose). And hell, we were one of the last teams standing!

2. We have the best running game in the nfl. Just look at the stats (also bs, but you can make the argument).

3. We have two good young receivers and cap room to sign wayne. We can even sign your buddy Jeff Saturday!

4. We have a young, good defense and the cap room and draft power to improve that.

5. Denver is a rabid football town. During a game in the mid 00's, Peyton claimed that the crowd in Mile High reminde dhim of the crowds in Knoxville.

That's just absurd logic. Tebow was on his 2nd year cam 1. The definition of a rookie is Zero experience at being a professional, regardless if youre sitting the bench or playing.

I'm more interested in practical comparisons vs NFL technical definitions. Tebow played 3 games last year under a different coach. Once given a new coach, he was subsequently locked out and completely unable to work with the new coach until late in the offseason, at which point another quarterback was chosen to work with our starting offense.

Rookie as a general term can be defined as a person with little experience. MLB for instance counts you as a rookie until you have a certain number of at bats. As an example, Derek Jeter debuted for the Yankees in 1995, but won Rookie of the Year in 1996. And yet the Drunkmeister cried no tears, nor were any calls of 'shenanigans' forthcoming.

For those of you who keep insisting on the Mane that Bowlen is broke, might as well bow out of the "Broncos are interested in Manning" argument, because it is going to take a boatload of money to land him.

It would be a big contradiction to scream Bowlen is broke on one hand, and then actually believe that the Broncos have a serious interest in Manning. I know, you know, and certainly EFX knows, that Manning is not going to give his services away. The Skins will make sure of it. You can take that to the bank.
